Sturmvogel Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Viacom owns alot of shite. It seems like everyday they buy more companies, amassing into an even larger conglomerate. But no worries.......Google will get them in the end. Because Google always wins. Edited April 25, 2006 by Sturmvogel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoshi Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) in the beginning it would probably be a good thing but over a long period of time i predict it to show irrelevant things and become like just mtv. RETARDED. LOL Edited April 25, 2006 by Aoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
